Gentrification overwhelmed seven of America's largest and wealthiest cities, with coastal urban areas such as New York City and Washington D.C. contributing to a majority of the nationwide economic displacement.
Data released this month by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition in tandem with several grassroots organizations found that seven cities account for half of the country's overall gentrification. Washington D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Diego and Chicago make up 501 tracts out of 1,049.
At least 20,000 black residents were displaced in Washington during the study period between 2000 and 2013. In Portland, 13 percent of the city's population was displaced over the same decade. By sheer volume of neighborhoods in which gentrification took place, New York City was the most affected. Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington all showed the highest rates of gentrification in neighborhoods centered around their business districts.
The report lists dog parks, bike lanes, condos and expensive restaurants as some of the most common markers of gentrification across the country. The report notes,"the influx of affluent white gentrifiers to formerly low-income minority neighborhoods can be viewed as a form of racial exclusion from urban areas with vibrant economies."
